THE ACORN AND THE PUMPKIN.

A Paraphrase OF French Fable.
IT'S said that once q man OF thoughtful mind,
Unlearned withal, 20 study not inclined,
When, strolling through the fields, once
chanced 10 see
pumpkin vine beneath an oakon tree.
The pumpkin, large and yellow, fine and
round,
Still growing TO the vine, lay on the ground;
The peasant viewed IL DER, then looked on
high
UPON the tree whose branches reached the
sky,
Beheld the acorns which the tree adorned,
Then with a scornful voice, aloud he mourned:
+" Alas that Providence no more should know
Than sadly 20 mismanage matters so;
Now were He, never should have made
This pumpkin vast 10 lie here in the shade,
Growing upon vine so small; instead
would have placed il on the tree o'erhead,
While the small acorns on the vine might grow;
An idiot, sure, would know 'twere better So"
Thus, moaning that the gods were not as he,
He laid him down TO rest beneath the tree.
But soon an acorn falling on his nose
Caused him such pain that straightway he
arose,
Enchanting: "Ahl the gods know best, see,
For, had they placed the pumpkin on the tree,
Failing, It would have killed me as lay;
Therefore, make vow that from this day
will from foolish thoughts and medtatons
rest,
Fully convinced that Providence knows best"
